Medvedev warns no-fly zone over Ukraine will lead to NATO-Russia war

Deputy Head of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated on Monday that the establishment of a no-fly zone over Ukraine would lead to a war between Russia and NATO. Medvedev made the comments in a statement on Telegram, expressing his amusement at NATO"s new initiative, Eastern Sentry, which aims to protect allies in the eastern flank following recent drone incursions into Poland.

He emphasized that the implementation of a no-fly zone and the capability for NATO countries to engage Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would signify only one outcome: a conflict between NATO and Russia. Medvedev"s remarks come amid ongoing discussions about military support and defense strategies in Eastern Europe.

For further context, Polish Foreign Minister has previously called for a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine, highlighting the escalating tensions in the region. As previously reported, these developments are part of a broader discussion regarding security measures in response to increasing military activities.
